Sadie Wrote:Do you have any idea of what it was like back then? How BIG that hair metal/new wave machine was?? How much MTV played a part in the success of new bands and how imaged based it was? Yeah, it was a revolution. It seemed to literally happen overnight. It was the last really interesting thing to happen to music. I'm not only talking about Nirvana here either, but they DID lead the way. BTW, you forgot the Melvins (the Jelvins anyone?) as being a major influence to Nirvana. Kurt in particular.

Is it because people make baseless generalizations that are so obvously false it makes your head spin?

Oh, no, maybe not...

I forgot how bogged down in semantics we get around here. I should have said: MUCH of todays music SEEMS to suck. And I've already explained myself. Maybe if people wouldn't lower their standards so much you know? Basically, my reaction is to the attacks on bands that were groundbreaking and influential in ways todays youth cannot seem to grasp. SOME of todays youth. If we're gonna be picky about phrasing. Anyway, I'll just wait for the Nirvana Were a bunch of Pussys thread now. We already had the Beatles Suck thread so why not? Let's attack ALL the pioneers!
